MSX 2/2+ screen is not covering entire display as it can. The upper and lower borders of the screen are wrong and consuming too much display area. I'm comparing with other emulators which can fully emulate MSX2/MSX2+ screen accordingly. Sretching options on Mame only stretchs left and right borders.

Tried with MSX 2 nms8250, nms8255 and expert20.

If you compare MSX 1 emulation (any system) on MAME you can see a proper use of display and borders.

since MESS is no more, is there any point in having the 'mess_specific' flag here?

I notice MASH keeps bumping posts to set it, when really these days it's all just MAME and doesn't need setting.

I'm keeping it until it is no longer a valid SUBTARGET=mess. The system is set up for it and there are still users of it separately, as well. Yes, eventually all bugs will need to be changed to MAME but you have to remember that there are Devs who are not interested in arcade hardware and other Dev not at all interested in what MESS brought to the table. The bumping is an unfortunate side effect of making any change to a bug, but as a moderator/admin this can be done without bumping which I do to a LOT of bugs.

MESS stays for now.

I'm confirming this based on a video here:

Where Vampire Hunter appears to hit near top/bottom of the screen on real hardware
The emulation, using example from softlist, has sizable empty areas on top and bottom: mame nms8250 vampkill
